Special Note – Canada

Québec Fondaction Non-Tax Credit Rate

Tax Update 16-B delivers COBOL modifications to change the taxation treatment of the Québec labour-sponsored shares to use a single rate effective June 1, 2016. This single tax credit rate of 15% is delivered as a tax table change.

As a result of the Québec budget announcement on March 17, 2016, further changes will be required to accommodate the extension of the temporary increase to 20% (from 15%) of the tax credit for shares purchased through Fondaction (CSN) for two additional years beginning June 1, 2016. These changes will be individually posted to My Oracle Support through Patch 22505730 as soon as possible, as well as delivered with Tax Update 16-C.

Please note that the tax credit rate of 15% is still valid for the FTQ shares.

For more information, see the entries for Patch 22505141 in the later sections of this document COBOL and Store Statement Changes for Release 9.1 and Canadian Changes for descriptions of the COBOL program changes delivered in Tax Update 16-B in conjunction with the delivery of the new Québec LCP Rate on the Canadian Tax Table.

Special Notes – U.S.

Maryland Quarterly Wage Reporting

Tax Update 16-B delivers an updated version of TAX810MD.SQR for creating the file to electronically report quarterly state unemployment wage and tax data to Maryland. In conjunction with the modifications to TAX810MD.SQR, the separate run control page for Maryland quarterly wage reporting is removed, since the only enterable fields on the page are no longer used.

For more information on the Maryland quarterly wage reporting changes, see the entry for TAX810MD.SQR in the later section of this document describing U.S. SQRs delivered in Tax Update 16-B for Release 9.1.

Future-Dated Paychecks in Employee Self-Service

Tax Update 16-B delivers product modifications to correct two issues related to viewing paychecks in employee self-service:

New functionality is added to hide future-dated non-PDF paychecks and deposit advices (created using PAY003.SQR and DDP003.SQR) from employee self-service views, based on the Paycheck Availability data on the Paycheck Options Table.

New functionality is added to hide future-dated PDF paychecks and deposit advices (created using

U.S. Year-End Form ID LSR03P Discontinued

Effective beginning with tax year 2016, U.S. year end Form ID LSR03P will no longer be supported. (Used for printing Form W-2, Form ID LSR03P was used to create a PDF version of the standard laser form, printing two forms per page.)

Employers who have previously used Form ID LSR03P should make arrangements to use one of the other supported Form IDs listed below for tax year 2016:

| | |

|Form ID |Description |

| | |

|LPS4V |Pressure seal laser form, printing four W-2 forms per page, one on top of the other. |

| | |

|LSR01 |Laser form, printing four W-2s per page, one on top of the other. |

| | |

|LSR02A |Laser form, printing four W-2s per page, at the corners of the page. |

| | |

| |Note: Employers who withhold and report state income tax for states with employer identification numbers exceeding 12 |

| |digits (e.g., Kansas, Utah, Wisconsin) should not use Form ID LSR02A because it does not provide sufficient room in box |

| |15 to print state employer identification numbers exceeding 12 digits. |

| | |

|LSR03 |Standard laser form, printing two W-2s per page. |

|Patch |Description |

|21114504 |Patch 21114504 modifies PSPEARRY.CBL, PSPEARRY.DMS, PSPETIPC.CBL, and copy members PSCEARRY.CBL, PSCEFLSA.CBL, PSCRFERY.CBL, PSCTMERY.CBL, and|

| |PSCWKERY.CBL to correctly calculate the Tip Adjustment by Department when an employee receives tips which are charged to multiple Departments |

| |within the same work state, as shown in this example: |

| |If the employee’s tips were charged to multiple departments in different work states, then the results were correct (e.g., Dept. TQ10 |

| |associated with New York; Dept TQ11 associated with New Jersey; and Dept TQ12 associated with Pennsylvania). |

| | |

|21391691 |Patch 21391691 modifies PSPSHUPD.CBL and PSPSHUPD.DMS to correctly re-calculate an employee’s paycheck when the FLSA adjustment is calculated |

| |for a prior pay period which crosses FLSA periods, and the employee’s Job Data is changed mid-pay period after an initial Preliminary Pay |

| |Calculation has been processed. Prior to the modifications, earnings were missing for the pay period prior to the Job Data change, as |

| |described in steps 9 and 10 in the following scenario: |

| | |

| |FLSA period is 28 days.  The FLSA calendars used are 12/28/14 - 1/24/2015, 1/25/2015 - 2/21/2015, and |

| |2/22/2015 - 3/21/2015. |

| |The employee is paid three semi-monthly payrolls that cross FLSA periods: 1/15/2015 - 1/31/2015, 2/1/2015 - 2/15/2015, and 2/16 - 2/28/2015. |

| |The employee is salaried. |

| |On the first check (Pay Period End = 1/31/2015), the employee is paid Regular earnings and Additional Pay earnings. The calculation is |

| |correct. |

| |On the second check (Pay Period End= 2/15/2015), the employee is paid Regular, Additional Pay earnings, and Overtime earnings.  The Overtime |

| |is paid at the hourly rate and not at the FLSA rate.  This is correct since the pay period ends (2/15/2015) before the FLSA period ends |

| |(2/21/2015).  On the next check, the entire FLSA period will be reevaluated and adjusted as needed to pay the Overtime at the FLSA rate. |

| |On the third check (Pay Period End 2/28/2015), the employee is paid Regular and Additional Pay earnings.  In the Preliminary Pay Calculation, |

| |the Overtime earnings are backed-out and recalculated at the FLSA rate for the period of 2/16/2015 - 2/21/2015.   At this point, the employee |

| |is paid correctly. |

| |The Department on Job Data is changed from 10500 to 13000 effective on the first day of the FLSA period (2/22/2015), which is mid-period for |

| |the pay period. |

| |Another Preliminary Pay Calculation is processed for the third check with the option "Only Calculate Where Needed" selected. |

| |Before the modifications, in this situation, the Regular and Additional Pay earnings for 2/16/2015 - 2/21/2015 (reflecting the time prior to |

| |the Job Data Department change) were incorrectly deleted; and |

| |Before the modifications, the adjustments for Overtime earnings for 2/1/2015 - 2/15/2015 (reflecting the adjustment for the time prior to the |

| |Job Data Department change) were also incorrectly deleted. |

| | |

|21605765 |Patch 21605765 modifies PSPPARRY.CBL to correctly reflect the values entered in the Job Data Override section of the Create Additional Pay |

| |page when the paysheet is created for the employee, as shown in the following example: |

|21646201 |Patch 21646201 alters IBM compiler control objects PSHR.WIN and PSPY.WIN to add the subprogram call to PSPPAYRT. Prior to the modifications, |

| |PSPECALC.CBL failed to compile successfully, and the following error was generated: |

| | |

|21817857 |Patch 21817857 modifies PSPRDEX1.CBL to correctly calculate Retro General Deduction amounts when a Retro Job Change (Job Chg) Request and a |

| |Retro General Deduction (Gen Ded) Request are processed simultaneously for the same employee. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the Retro General Deduction amount was calculated twice for the same pay period, resulting in an incorrect |

| |deduction amount for the employee. |

| | |

| |(Posted to My Oracle Support as Patch 21817857 on 29 February 2016) |

| | |

|21841272 |Patch 21841272 modifies PSPTCSRC.CBL to correctly calculate state taxable wages for the work state when the resident state / work state |

| |combination is covered by State Tax Reciprocity Rule 5 (“Do not withhold for the work state.”), but the employer agrees to do a “courtesy” |

| |withholding of tax for the work state, which means the employee’s State Tax Data page is set up with Special Withholding Tax Status = Maintain|

| |taxable gross, with an Additional Amount or Percent of tax specified. Example: |

| | |

| |The employee lives in West Virginia and works in Pennsylvania, a situation covered by State Tax Reciprocity Rule 5 (“Do not withhold for the |

| |work state.”); and |

| |Because the employer has agreed to withhold Pennsylvania tax from the employee as a courtesy, the employee’s State Tax Data for Pennsylvania |

| |is set up as follows: |

| |Special Withholding Tax Status= Maintain Taxable Gross; and |

| |Tax Marital Status= “X” (Exemption from Withholding); and |

| |An Additional Amount or Percentage of tax is specified. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, in the above example, Pennsylvania tax was calculated and withheld, but taxable wages were not calculated for |

| |Pennsylvania. |

| | |

|21850636 |Patch 21850636 modifies PSPPYNET.CBL to correctly calculate an employee’s resident state withholding tax when multiple separate supplemental |

| |payments, including manual checks, are processed during the pay period for an employee who has no prior earnings in the year, and whose |

| |residence state / work state combination is covered by State Tax Reciprocity Rule 5 (“Do not withhold for the work state.”), as shown in the |

| |following example: |

| | |

| |Pay frequency = semi-monthly |

| |Marital status = Single – 0 |

| |Special Tax Status = None |

| |Residence state = VA |

| |Work state = DC |

| | |

| |Check #1: |

| | |

| |Off cycle check #2 (manual check): Supplemental earnings = 205,558.54 |

| | |

| |Tax override specified: |

| |VA tax = 11,921.70 |

| |(This is not the amount that would have been calculated by the program) |

| |Check is confirmed. |

| | |

| |Check #2 (manual check): |

| |VA tax = 11,921.70 (override amount) |

| | |

| |(Amount stored in TAX_SUPP_CUR |

| |on PAY_TAX = 0.00) |

| |on PAY_TAX = 11,921.70) |

| | |

| |Off cycle check #3: |

| |Supplemental earnings = 13,242.22 |

| | |

| |Check #3: |

| |VA tax calculated on 394,800.76 |

| |(176,000 + 205,558.54 + 13,242.22) = |

| |22,683.13 |

| | |

| |VA tax withheld on Check #3: |

| |22,683.13 - 10,102.08 = |

| |12,581.05 (incorrect) |

| |Check #3: |

| |VA tax calculated on 394,800.76 |

| |(176,000 + 205,558.54 + 13,242.22) = |

| |22,683.13 |

| | |

| |VA tax withheld on Check #3: |

| |22,683.13 - (10,102.08 + 11,921.70) = 659.35 (correct) |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, two errors occurred in the above-described situation (shown above under “Before the modifications”): |

| |In the calculation of the resident state tax to be withheld on Check #3, credit was not given for the resident state tax previously withheld |

| |on Check #2; and |

| |The amount stored in TAX_SUPP_CUR on PAY_TAX was not updated with the amount of resident state tax withheld on Check #2. |

| |These errors caused resident state withholding tax to be incorrectly calculated on any subsequent off-cycle checks in the pay period (e.g., |

| |Check #3). |

| | |

| | |

|21882778 |Patch 21882778 modifies PSPRDCAL.CBL to correctly calculate both Retroactive General Deduction and Retroactive Benefit amounts when a |

| |Retroactive General Deduction is processed together with a Retroactive Benefits enrollment change. Prior to the modifications, the |

| |Retroactive General Deduction Request was set to a status of "Rejected" and the following error was generated: |

| | |

| |Message ID 000087: "The Benefit Program defined for this employee was not found.” |

| | |

| |(Posted to My Oracle Support as Patch 21882778 on 25 February 2016) |

| | |

|21910339 |Patch 21910339 modifies PSPGARRY.DMS to summarize the month to date amounts used in store statement PSPGARRY_S_BALMTD across companies by |

| |Garnishment ID. Prior to the modifications, the monthly garnishment limit amount was not properly recognized in some scenarios across |

| |companies when the same Garnishment ID was used and an employee was transferred from one company to another. |

| | |

|22121393 |Patch 22121393 modifies PSPTCSRC.CBL and PSPPYNET.CBL to prevent the generation of an erroneous row of paycheck tax data for an employee in |

| |the following situation: |

| |The employee lives in Maryland and works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which invokes State Tax Reciprocity Rule 5 (“Do not withhold for the |

| |work state.”); and |

| |The employee’s State Tax Data record indicates that the employee has elected to have an additional amount of state tax withheld for both |

| |Maryland and Pennsylvania; and |

| |The employee is paid an earnings which is subject to Federal withholding tax and subject to Philadelphia local withholding tax, but which is |

| |not subject to Maryland state withholding tax. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, no Maryland state taxable wages were calculated, which was correct based on the earnings setup, but the additional|

| |Maryland tax amount requested by the employee was incorrectly withheld even though there were no associated Maryland taxable wages. |

| | |

|22133808 |Patch 22133808 modifies PSPECALC.CBL to correctly calculate an employee’s gross pay when nonproductive time is processed in the following |

| |situation: |

| | |

| |The employee is salaried; and |

| |The employee’s pay consists solely of pay for nonproductive time (vacation, sick leave, jury duty, etc.) and includes no payment of Regular |

| |earnings; and |

| |The earnings code for nonproductive time is set up as follows: |

| |The Hours Only (Reduce from Regular Pay) checkbox is selected. |

| |The Add to Gross Pay checkbox is not selected. |

| |The Subject to FWT checkbox is not selected. |

| |The Multiplication Factor is less than 1.0000 (e.g., 0.3000). |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the employee was not paid in the situation described above. |

| | |

| |Example: an employee whose pay period salary = $1,307.69. |

| | |

|22199609 |Patch 22199609 modifies PSPTCALC.CBL to correctly calculate an employee’s resident state withholding tax when: |

| |The employee works in the employee’s resident state and in multiple states other than the employee’s resident state; and |

| |The residence state / work state combinations are covered by State Tax Reciprocity Rule 2: “Withhold calculated residence state tax on work |

| |state wages to extent that calculated residence state withholding exceeds calculated work state withholding”; and |

| |The employee is paid regular and bonus earnings either on the same paycheck or separate paychecks. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, under the above conditions, the resident state withholding tax was overwithheld in certain scenarios. |

| | |

|22232904 |Patch 22232904 modifies PSPGCALC.CBL to correctly calculate Wisconsin tax levies associated with Wisconsin Garnishment Rule ID = GENERAL when |

| |an employee is also subject to withholding for child support orders. Prior to the modifications, in some scenarios a negative amount was |

| |calculated for the Disposable Earnings (DE), which resulted in an erroneous garnishment refund. Section KA100-CUSTOM-US-RULES of the program |

| |is modified to ensure the DE calculation for Wisconsin tax levies does not result in a negative amount. |

| | |

| |Example: an employee with Disposable Earnings = $638.76 and total child support deductions = 167.31 (28.85 + 138.46): |

| | |

| | |

| |Before the modifications |

| |After the modifications |

| |0.00 |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |Maximum Deduction = 638.76 * 25% = 159.69. |

| |Since total child support deductions = 167.31, |

| |no deduction should be made for the tax levy. |

| | |

| | |

|22235139 |Patch 22235159 modifies PSPSLSTX.CBL to correctly incorporate the most recent formulae for the calculation of sales tax on insurance products |

| |in Manitoba, Ontario and Québec. This applies to situations where the employee resides in one province but works in a different province. |

| |Prior to the modifications, in some cases where the tax should have been taken at one provincial rate, it was being calculated using a |

| |different provincial rate. |

| | |

|22377595 |Patch 22377595 modifies PSPRPMSS.CBL so that Retro Pay Requests are correctly created for employees with additional jobs that were created |

| |using the Add Additional Assignment functionality. Prior to the modifications, these employees were erroneously excluded from the MASS |

| |Retroactive Pay Process. |

| | |

| |(Posted to My Oracle Support as Patch 22377601 on 25 February 2016) |

| | |

|22392685 |Patch 22392685 modifies PSPTCALC.CBL to correctly calculate federal and state withholding taxes for an employee who is paid multiple checks |

| |using Pay Calendar entries that share the same Aggregate ID. Prior to the modifications, the federal withholding tax and state withholding |

| |tax were overwithheld on checks calculated subsequent to the first check in this situation. |

|22471428 |Patch 22471428 modifies PSPRPERY.CBL and PSPRPERY.DMS to correctly retrieve the related prior Retro Pay data for inclusion in calculating the |

| |current Retro Pay amount in the following sequence of events: |

| | |

| |An employee has confirmed checks in multiple prior pay periods with no Additional Pay. |

| |The employee receives Additional Pay retroactively with a mid-pay period effective date. |

| |The Retro Pay Request is calculated and loaded to the paysheets. |

| |The employee has Job Data changes that impact the compensation rate, with the same Effective Date as the date used in the retroactive |

| |Additional Pay change. |

| |In correction mode, the Additional Pay amount is changed. |

| |The second Retro Pay calculation is processed. |

| |One of the Additional Pay records does not contain prior Retro Pay data. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the Retro Pay amount was not calculated correctly in this scenario. |

|22478445 |Patch 22478445 modifies PSPPYNET.CBL and PSPTCALC.CBL to correctly calculate an employee’s resident state withholding tax in the following |

| |situations: |

| | |

| |Scenario A: |

| |The employee lives and works in different states; and |

| |The residence state / work state combinations are covered by State Tax Reciprocity Rule 1: “Withhold both work state tax and residence state |

| |tax on work state wages”; and |

| |The employee is paid regular, supplemental, and special supplemental earnings on the same paycheck. |

| | |

| |Scenario B: |

| |The employee lives and works in the same state; and |

| |The employee is paid regular, supplemental, and special supplemental earnings on the same paycheck. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the resident state withholding tax was calculated incorrectly for an employee in either of the above-described |

| |situations. |

| | |

|22491123 |Patch 22491123 modifies PSPLDTL2.CBL and PSPLDTL2.DMS to prevent the refreshing of the following fields on the employee’s paysheet that |

| |previously contained data originating from Time and Labor transactions during the Preliminary Calculation Run: |

| | |

| |Business Unit (BUSINESS_UNIT) |

| |Department (DEPTID) |

| |Job Code (JOBCODE) |

| |Position (POSITION_NBR) |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the program incorrectly refreshed these fields with the values on the employee’s current Job record instead of |

| |retaining the “override” values entered via Time and Labor. This error may have resulted in incorrect General Ledger reporting. |

| |(Posted to My Oracle Support as Patch 22986135 on 24 March 2016) |

| | |

|22497890 |Patch 22497890 delivers modifications to PSPUSTAX.CBL to support the calculation of Pennsylvania Local Services Tax amounts in excess of the |

| |Pennsylvania statewide annual limit of $52. With court approval, Pennsylvania municipalities operating under a recovery plan authorized by |

| |the Financially Distressed Municipalities Act (Act 47) are permitted to impose a Local Services Tax in excess of the statewide annual limit of|

| |$52. The City of Scranton was the first municipality to impose a Local Services Tax in excess of the statewide annual limit. Product |

| |modifications to support the higher Scranton tax were previously delivered in Tax Update 15-D. |

| | |

| |Effective January 1, 2016, Local Service Taxes in excess of the statewide annual limit are also imposed by the City of Aliquippa and the City |

| |of Johnstown. |

| | |

| |Beginning with tax year 2016, the annual Local Services Tax imposed by the City of Aliquippa is increased to $104, or $2 per week. For |

| |employees claiming exemption from the tax, the Low Income Exemption threshold is increased from the first $12,000 to the first $15,600 of |

| |wages paid each year for services performed in Aliquippa. |

| | |

| |Beginning with tax year 2016, the annual Local Services Tax imposed by the City of Johnstown is increased to $156, or $3 per week. For |

| |employees claiming exemption from the tax, the Low Income Exemption threshold is increased from the first $12,000 to the first $21,000 of |

| |wages paid each year for services performed in Johnstown. |

| | |

| |Once the product modifications in this patch are applied, the system will calculate and deduct retroactive catch-up amounts only for those |

| |employees who meet both of the following conditions: |

| | |

| |Prior to applying the product modifications, the employee has not had a Local Services Tax deduction for any other locality other than the |

| |locality imposing the tax increase; and |

| |The first payroll calculated after applying the product modifications includes an employee tax deduction for the locality imposing the tax |

| |increase. |

| |For employees who do not meet both of the above conditions, the system will not calculate and deduct retroactive catch-up amounts. For any |

| |employee for whom a retroactive catch-up deduction is not automatically calculated, you will need to manually calculate and process any |

| |required retroactive catch-up deduction of the tax. |

|22505141 |Patch 22505141 modifies PSPCNTAX.CBL to change the taxation treatment of Québec labour-sponsored shares to use a single tax credit rate of 15%|

| |effective June 1st, 2016. |

|22527203 |Patch 22527203 modifies PSPEARRY.CBL and PSPEARRY.DMS to successfully calculate an employee's paycheck when an employee is paid in a previous |

| |Company subsequent to the employee transferring to a new Company. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the employee was not paid in this situation, and the Pay Calculation process generated error message 000382: “The|

| |employee does not have an active Job record for an Earnings End Date.” |

| | |

| | |

|22553106 |Patch 22553106 modifies PSPTCALC.CBL to successfully calculate an employee’s paycheck in the following scenario: |

| | |

| |The employee is a resident of Connecticut; and |

| |The employee’s State Withholding Tax Data for Connecticut is set up with Special Withholding Tax Status = |

| |“No taxable gross; no tax taken”; and |

| |The employee normally works 100% of the time in a different state (e.g., New York) but for this payroll works some of the time in Connecticut.|

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the program abended with error “Attempt to divide by zero”. |

| | |

|22618487 |Patch 22618487 modifies PSPUSTAX.CBL to correctly apply the cap for the “Phase-Out” portion of the new Maine withholding tax formula that is |

| |effective for wages paid on or after January 1, 2016. |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, the Phase-Out amount was incorrectly unlimited, which resulted in Maine tax being overwithheld in some situations,|

|SQR |Description |

|TAX920US.SQR |TAX920US.SQR produces the W-2c Print File for reporting corrections to annual wage and tax data on Form W-2c for U.S. |

| |employees. The program is modified to print new codes for Michigan local tax jurisdictions in Box 20 of Form W-2c. The|

| |new codes are stored in the Taxing Entity Code field (PS_LOCAL_TAX_TBL.W2_MAG_CODE) which is displayed on the Local Tax|

| |Table 3 page. |

| | |

| |Information on the new codes can be found in the 2016 Michigan Cities Common Withholding Forms and Specifications, which|

| |is published by the City of Grand Rapids Income Tax Department. |

Other U.S. SQRs

|SQR |Description |

|DDP003.SQR |DDP003.SQR is the Direct Advice print program. |

|PAY003.SQR |PAY003.SQR is the Paycheck print program. |

| | |

| |The programs are modified to correctly display an employee’s additional state withholding allowances information when |

| |PDF paychecks or advices are created using the Create Paychecks PDF or Create Advice PDF Forms run control. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, when PDF paychecks or advices were created using the Create Paychecks PDF or Create Advice |

| |PDF Forms run control, the check or advice displayed the employee’s regular state withholding allowances information, |

| |but did not display any additional state withholding allowances claimed by the employee. (If the Print Checks or Print |

| |Advice Forms run controls were used, both the printed statements as well as the online HTML view correctly reflected the|

| |additional state withholding allowances information.) |

| | |

| |(Patch 21918548) |

| | |

|PYSSPXML.SQC |PYSSPXML.SQC is used to process paycheck XML data for PDF paychecks. The program is modified to |

| |update the status of reprinted Off-cycle paycheck records in the PDF Paycheck Control Guide table to “DO NOT DISPLAY” |

| |(Status = DNDS) so that each paycheck in the PDF Paycheck Control Guide table only has one displayable record (Status = |

| |ORIG). |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, duplicate rows for the same check number were incorrectly displayed on the View Self Service|

| |Paycheck page when an online check/advice was reprinted for a paycheck that was in the table prior to applying Tax |

| |Update 15-C. (Tax Update 15-C updated the key structure of the PDF Paycheck Control Guide table by adding an Off Cycle |

| |flag, Page Number, Line Number, and Separate Check Number). |

Canadian SQRs delivered in Tax Update 16-B for Release 9.1

Descriptions of SQR modifications are followed by the patch number. Unless otherwise indicated by a specific posting date, patch numbers referenced in these tax update notes have not been posted to Updates & Fixes on My Oracle Support.

|SQR |Description |

|CTX910LD.SQR |CTX910LD.SQR loads employee year-to-date tax, earnings, and deduction balances, as well as other information|

| |required for reporting to the year-end slip records in the database. The program is modified to correctly |

| |evaluate the Status Indian information for employees hired after the start of the year. This will correctly|

| |populate Box 71 (Status Indian - Exempt Income) of the T4 slip, and Box G-2 (CPP Pensionable Earnings) of |

| |the RL-1 slip. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, Status Indian employees hired after the start of the year did not have data |

| |reported in Box 71 of the T4 slip, and in some situations Box G-2 of the RL-1 slip was being reported for |

| |non-Status Indian employees who worked only in Québec. |

| | |

| |(Patch 22619078; posted to My Oracle Support as Patch 22619098 on 18 Feb 2016) |

| | |

| | |

|PAY002.SQR |PAY002.SQR produces the Payroll Register. The program is modified to report deductions for Canadian |

| |deduction classes "L" (QC Taxable Benefit) and "T" (Taxable Benefit). Prior to the modifications, deduction|

| |classes “L” and “T” were not reported on the register. |

| | |

| |(Patch 21836891) |

| | |

| | |

|PAY105CN.SQR |PAY105CN.SQR extracts the data stored in the PeopleSoft application into an XML file for upload to Service |

| |Canada’s Record of Employment on the Web (Web ROE) application, including a file of corrected entries for |

| |‘Failed’ and ‘Rejected’ records. The program is modified to retrieve the employee’s Job Data as of the Last|

| |Date Worked on the ROE record for the last Employment Insurance (EI) period. |

| | |

| |Prior to the modifications, Job data for the last EI period was retrieved as of the last EI period. The EI |

| |insurable hours and earnings of the last EI period were not reported in some situations when the Company and|

| |Paygroup in Job Data were changed after the Last Date Worked but before the last pay period end date. |
